Product Description

The SICK WL12-3N2431 Retroreflective Photoelectric Sensor provides precise and reliable object detection using advanced LED technology and a retroreflective sensing principle. Designed in a robust block-style housing, this sensor is ideal for harsh automated industrial environments where high ingress protection and stable performance are required.

This model achieves a 7 meter detection range with a focused LED beam, making it suitable for applications including packaging lines, assembly verification, conveyor automation, and presence detection across manufacturing, food and beverage, and material handling industries. The sensor’s output is NPN, allowing seamless interfacing with NPN/negative logic input circuits found in modern industrial PLCs and relays.

The rugged metal housing (die-cast zinc) and high IP66, IP67, and IP69K protection ratings ensure durability in the presence of dust, water jets, or washdown. With a quick 330 microsecond response time, this sensor supports high-speed process and motion control tasks, enabling efficient detection of fast-moving objects.

The WL12-3N2431 features a standard 4-pin, M12 connector interface for wiring simplicity as well as versatile mounting options to fit a wide range of installation scenarios. The wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 60°C, combined with its immunity to optical interference and background suppression, extend its suitability for demanding industrial applications.

Common use cases include type and presence checks for robot applications, collision prevention in automated grippers, loop or sheet edge detection, transparent object monitoring, and packaging automation. The flexible configuration through IO-Link (on supporting versions) and a high-visibility PinPoint LED facilitate fast commissioning and maintenance.

Long 7m retroreflective range for medium-to-large object detection in industrial plants. Metal block style housing withstands impact and corrosive cleaning agents in packaging or food processing plants. Supports rapid electronic switching for integration into high-throughput automated systems.

Ensures safety and operational continuity in challenging environments via triple-rated ingress protection. Explore the full range of advanced sensors with SICK for next-generation industrial automation on EnvMart.
